Summary

This study tests whether combining two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) with or without a chemotherapy drug (azacitidine) can help people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a type of bone marrow cancer. About 99 adults with MDS who either haven't been treated or whose previous treatment stopped working are taking part. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors or improves blood counts.
